The Gallery
The McClure Gallery of the VAC is an exhibition venue for professional artists, community based artists, and young emerging artists. The gallery serves a strong educational function in the community, encouraging public appreciation of contemporary art through seminars, lectures and tours. Accompanying exhibition catalogues are published when funding is available.
While the gallery mostly serves the Montreal and Quebec visual arts community, it welcomes submissions from further afield. We also welcome proposals from guest curators, through our Curatorial Programme.

Art Hive with the artist ‘Making Fiction Real’: April 6 from 10:30 am to 1 pm
In this exhibition the artist uses the monster as a visual trope to analyse her sense of identity, embracing the idea of the monster as a figure that represents the limitless. Inspired by literary references, the works depict black female characters in surrealist spaces. These paintings, the fruit of the artist’s ‘sociological imagination’, arouse empathy and introspection.
